A World War-II era B-17 bomber that has toured the U.S. crashed and burned after an aborted takeoff Wednesday in Connecticut, killing seven of the 13 people aboard. The historic "Nine-O-Nine" frequently stopped at Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling, most recently at the end of July, as part of the annual Wings of Freedom tour run by the Collings Foundation.
